Model 70 30-06

Just inherited my uncle's 30-06. Any help establishing date of manufacture would be appreciated. Winchester Model 70, Serial G966148. Guessing 1950s. Harvested my first whitetail with this rifle. Thanks.

Here's a couple of quotes to help answer your long/short action question: short action vs. long action, whats the difference? - THR and Short Action vs Long Action rifles [Archive] - THR...quick outsource for info.

Since it is .30-06 it has to be long action.Short actions start with the .308 length cartridges. sam.

In 1970 all 70s were long actions. Short actions came along later.
